Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm also bored. I might go punch someone before I have a shitty conference call where everyone will be blaming everyone else.
I'm going to have to mute it and say "I told you so" a lot.

Yes, to all questions
although it annoys me massively that you are unemployable as a research technician/scientist without a degree but they pay you a fucking pittance for a graduate wage.
Altalt - I'd like to be better at some stuff I do but I don't think there's anything I can't do that I want to do. Play drums, maybe.

A saxophone and flute are broadly the same
the clarinet is different. A flute also has a mouthpiece you blow across, rather than in to like a sax/clarinet.

I know that sax & clarinet are reed instruments and that you blow across the flute.
So I'm kind of roughly right then? - Similar fingering, but different blowing for sax/flute; slightly different fingering, but same blowing for sax/clarinet.

Battered's Wife - The generic entitie who Battered married and nobody knows and once went dressed to a children's halloween party as The Cat Women, but instead of wearing liquid latex, used jizz that she stored over the years. Battered was most pleased about the potential of an alternate character and timeline known as The White Cat Women, and how she is probably is the only marvel character not to have a polar oppersite (with the exception of HarleyQuin).
and
Battered's Wife - The person who he loves deeply and rescued his troubled soul, baring his one and only true child, who took his seed and devoted her love to this man for richer or poorer, sickness and health, 'till death do they part. The person who knows every single deep seeded personal secret, someone who accepts him for who he is; nay, not accepts, but loves. Who everyone on here, even those who haven't meet her or him or even heard of him, fucked doggy style.
